FORTY YEARS!!

We celebrated my parents 40th wedding anniversary on Saturday. My Parents are AMAZING people . Together they have raised ten children. My Mom raised at least half of us while suffering with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). They have to be two of the most faithful people around. The lord has certainly sent his fair share of trials their way and my parents have always dugg in and muddled through. My Mom has never been one to complain. My Dad has always been a great example of how to treat a lady. He shows my Mom the upmost respect and always let us know she came first, no questions asked. I hope to show my children the same amount of Love, Patience, Perserverance, and faithfulness as my parents have shown me. THANKS MOM AND DAD I SURE DO LOVE YOU!!!!!!

What a sweet tribute to your parents!
well, you asked me about the status of our foster parenting... we are taking a break for a while, but leaving one bed open, just in case a miracle happens, and our little jack-jack can come back to us. other than that, we are going to get our add-on construction finished on our house, and then get it up on the market. Then we will get our other 2 beds going again. I love what we do, and can't wait to get back to it, but have to get my life back in order first!
